Trattoria Corallo

Trattoria Corallo: Where Wedding has been dining for decades

Some Italian restaurants in Berlin focus on chic, others on nostalgia. Corallo in Wedding needs neither, because the quality speaks for itself. For over 30 years, this cozy trattoria and pizzeria at Wedding’s Genther Markt has been an integral part of Berlin’s restaurant scene – and for good reason. Corallo was recently refreshed with a modern counter and a new stone oven; the interior was also carefully renovated, the old wall plaster removed, making the atmosphere more open. This attracts a younger audience without alienating regular guests.

The Italian restaurant’s menu features homemade bread, fresh pizza, pasta, and desserts. The ambiance is friendly: checkered tablecloths, classic storage jars for pasta, and wine bottles on the walls. In addition, there’s something often missing in many similar establishments: genuine tranquility. No TV, no canned music. There are also outdoor seating options, making a visit worthwhile in summer too.

Pasta, Fish, and Tiramisu – Corallo’s Strengths

To truly understand Corallo, one should start with the fish. The traditional strength of the house is fish: the grilled sea bream with garlic spinach is among the best in the city, as are the calamaretti – both dishes are not always on the menu but are daily specials worth asking about. In winter, it’s also worth checking out the pasta: the flambéed pasta with truffle provides extra warmth, as the grated cheese is flamed directly at the table.

Those who take advantage of the lunch offer get particularly good value for money at Corallo. Between 12:00 and 16:00, pizza and pasta are available for just 5 euros. To finish, tiramisu is recommended: the creamy tiramisu is entirely homemade and melts in your mouth – perfectly paired with an espresso that is strong but never bitter. Regular visitors know: Corallo delivers reliably, visit after visit.
